We have a lot of coffee in our home and my wife especially drinks it every day.

We even have a coffee machine which makes great coffee for us.

In fact, coffee is pretty popular all over the world, let alone in the UK where we live.

It is drunk in various guises, ways and forms at with different strengths and flavors as well.

Can guinea pigs drink coffee?

So if we can drink it, and lots of it, can guinea pigs drink coffee?

Unfortunately, they can’t. They just can’t handle the many aspects if it.

Here are three reasons why;

Firstly, they can’t handle hot liquids. It just hurts them and will damage them if they do drink. So feed them hot drinks.

Secondly, they can’t handle the caffeine. They really can’t. It will do them a lot harm and may even kill them.

Thirdly, they really can’t take at milk or cream if you have that with your coffee as they are lactose intolerant.

So with all that in mind, stick to giving them fresh water and they will love you for that.
